Koolaire KYT1700W Description
The Koolaire KYT-1700W ice machine can produce 1,815 pounds of ice if ambient air and incoming water temperatures are ideal. This unit makes half-cube ice, which is excellent for cooling beverages since it has a small surface area, but it melts more quickly than full-cube ice. Water that will soon become ice first flows through the food zone, which must be cleaned on a regular basis. This area can be accessed by removing two screws and the door, and its components can be taken out for quick cleanup.
For ice to be produced, the toggle must be set to "ice," and the water curtain must be closed. Water is used to cool the unit's refrigerant lines, and these lines are then used to cool the evaporator. Water constantly flows over the evaporator so that the water in the evaporator cells can freeze to form cubes. Once the ice is formed, a float switch shuts off the water flow, and a harvest probe checks the thickness so that the unit knows when to release the ice.
Note: This unit must be paired with an ice maker bin or ice dispenser.

How It Works
- Toggle switch must be set to "ice" while the water curtain is closed
- Water is removed from the trough in the purge cycle
- Water-cooled refrigerant lines
- Refrigerant lines cool the evaporator plate
- Water flowing over the evaporator plate is frozen into cubes
- Ice thickness float switch shuts off the flow of water
- Ice thickness is checked by the harvest probe so that operators know when to shut off the water cooling the refrigerant lines
- Evaporator releases the ice when it warms up
